So the track doesn't follow his ideal line, he makes do without it. Good for him.

Watching that it makes me think of snowboarding and bombing a hill with a huge roller... At some point you start levitating and after that it is a matter of realizing you are in the air and bracing for impact.
The above photo is so crazy I want to almost call photoshop.

These crazy fucks cut their teeth at the IOM, doing some aerobatics at the track is a walk in the park, there are no trees, houses, curbs, bridges...
That jump does sometimes bite, Leo here does fuck up his leg BAD, still better than hitting a house afterwards....

Don't worry, that leg is all better, he's been doing OK in the WSBK with occasional nibble at the podium.
Perhaps there is a win in the future, that RSV4 is bad ass!

Brookes slaughters every single rider into the Hall Bends with those tactics. It's unbelievable to watch. He usually carries it on the rear wheel all the way to his braking marker up the inside, ripping a half second out of the sad soul he just passed.
The Aussies and us turn flattrackers into road racers. The Brits use young motocross stars.

Yup. Yall should watch the BSB races from Cadwell Park this year. In both races Brookes uses the jump to set up a line and speed advantage no one else has/can take to pass people into the next corner. Its pretty amazing to see. Highly recommended.
